DECISION No 2/2005 OF THE EC-EFTA JOINT COMMITTEE ON COMMON TRANSIT
of 17 June 2005
amending the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure
(2005/559/EC)
THE JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1), and in particular Article 15(3)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
| (1) | The identity and nationality of means of transport at departure is regarded as mandatory information that has to be entered in box 18 of a transit declaration. |
| (2) | At container terminals that have high levels of traffic it may occur that the details of the road means of transport to be used for the transport are unknown at the time when the transit formalities are carried out. Nevertheless, the identification of the container in which the goods subject to the transit declaration will be carried is available and is already indicated in box 31 of the transit declaration. |
| (3) | Under these circumstances and considering that the goods can be controlled on this basis, an appropriate degree of flexibility should be offered by allowing the box 18 of the transit declaration not to be completed, in so far as it can be ensured that the proper details will be subsequently entered in the relevant box. |
| (4) | The Convention should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Article 2
It shall apply from 1 July 2005.
